What a bizarre story. First of all why would an intruder bang and knock on the door? And why would the homeowner wait 15 minutes to call the police. I think both are idiots and neither should be allowed to own guns

I like where he stores his gun right next to his bed, mine is in the same place. It will be the first weapon I grab since I can bang out 20rds with out reloading. I guess the morale of the story is don't bring a gun to a rifle fight or when you shoot don't miss.

I'm sorry but this article is just laughable. I don't think our founders wanted idiots to own guns. How does someone lie in bed and listen for 15 minutes to someone banging on their door without calling the police.

Not everyone wants to deal with police reports, and going to court, etc. if someone is just causing a nuisance which this person was up until he busted down the door. If the 15 minutes of banging had been it, and the person had just gone away, this would have been a non-issue. If however the homeowner had immediately called the police, he would have had to wait up, give his statement, possibly wait for police to look around for evidence, or something, and could easily have lasted an hour or more.

So let's shoot them instead Your second point is just not true...at least not in my state. I've been through a late night pounding on the door. We called the police and went back to sleep. There was no waiting up or giving a statement.

Once again your opinion on who is a idiot...But then again if I think you are a idiot does that mean you lose you right to freedom of speech?

He did not want to alert the person to his movement or actions.

LOL the homeowner was inside during the 15 minutes the intruder was outside banging on his door. How exactly would the homeowner alert the intruder to his movements. This is not a great argument for owning a gun. In fact, it makes the case against it.
